Heartfelt Haiku

by
Sarah Downing

I dedicate this collection of haiku to my parents,
for they have given me such
wonderful memories throughout the years.

Authors Introduction:

This collection of haiku focuses on love, experiences, seasons and emotions. It is a mixture of many different topics and experiences I feel many people feel or go through. "Heartfelt Haiku" was written from the heart, full of emotions joy, love, heartbreak, sadness and warmth. While people read my haiku I them to retrieve memories, and interpret these haiku in their own way. Please enjoy.

grandma's necklace
chain is broken
treasured forever

worn out baseball glove
grandfather's initials
passed along to my brother

late October trip
finding the largest pumpkin
in the patch

my mother's wedding day
long white dress
in my closet

porch lights on
kids going from house to house—
"Trick or Treat!"
